The following is the text of a news release from Peachtree City concerning preparations for the rollover of computer clocks to the year 2000:

The City of Peachtree City has established a Y2K contingency plan in the event of any prolonged power outages or communications failures.

Neely Fire Station will serve as an emergency operations center during the week of Dec. 31 to Jan. 7 as the city monitors any effects of the Y2K phenomenon.

In the event of prolonged power outages or communications failures, the following procedures will be enacted:

1. Emergency bulletins will be broadcast on WSB affiliate radio stations: News Talk 750 AM, B-98.5 FM, News Radio 680 AM, Jazz Flavors 104.1 FM and The Beat 95.5 FM.

2. In the event of communications failure of either the telephone system or the 911 communications, residents who have true emergencies that would normally require dialing 911 may go to one of the four Peachtree City fire stations: Leach Station 81 — 100 Paschall Road off Ga. Highway 74 south across from Willow Road; Neely Station 82 — 105 Peachtree Parkway north across from the former A&P center; Satterthwaite Station 84 — 451 Crabapple Lane off Peachtree Parkway north in Kedron; Weber Station 83 — 481 Peachtree Parkway south by Balmoral Village Apartments.

3. In the event of a loss of electrical power, limited shelter may be made available at the Gathering Place (203 McIntosh Trail) for Peachtree City residents with medical or other short-term special needs that require a controlled climate or access to electrical power (for medical devices such as an oxygen concentrator). These individuals should make prior arrangements with the Peachtree City Fire Department by calling Neely Station at 770-631-2526.

No pets will be allowed at the shelter, and the shelter will not be available for the general public.

Residents are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate supplies of food, water and medication on hand for any emergencies that result in power outages.
